The sky was gloomy, the cold wind was blowing, and Lou Cheng, who was full of excitement and joy, couldn't help shivering as soon as he walked out of the train station. Unlike Yanling's strong wind, low temperature and dry cold, Xiushan's coldness was the kind of cold that penetrated into the bones. The inescapable cold is not something that can be resisted by the so-called airtight clothes, and he himself is in a weak and sick state.
"It's a good thing I was smart enough to add a piece of clothing inside before getting out of the car." Lou Cheng praised, took out his mobile phone, took a picture of Xiushan's familiar sky and the iconic building in the distance - Diqing Building, and then sent it to Yan Zhe Ke said with a "bad smile", "Does this look familiar?"
Yan Zheke returned a dazed expression: "Suddenly I feel a little homesick..."
"Just treat me as your substitute, to go home and experience Xiushan on your behalf." Lou Cheng "smiled triumphantly".
"Bah, what's that called? Substitute Orange, do you look as good as me!" Yan Zheke sent an emoji of "You don't know anything about power".
While joking, Lou Cheng, with his luggage on his back, declined invitations from a bunch of small black cars, and came to the bus stop, waiting for the No. 82 bus that would pass by his house.
Although I have 10,000 yuan in cash in my backpack and several hundred dollars in my wallet, I must know how to be frugal!
Originally, if there was only 5,000 yuan in bonuses, he planned to use the rest as a dating fund, but now he has 10,000 yuan from the top eight, so he had a little thought and planned to buy something for his parents during the Chinese New Year. Surprise them with a real gift!
82 Passers-by were crowded, Lou Cheng relied on the yin and yang stakes, and had a good grasp of the center of gravity. It didn't matter if he sat down, poked his head, and looked around, wondering if he could bump into a classmate or two.
It's a pity that Xiushan is a prefecture-level city, with a population of hundreds of thousands in the main urban area alone, and the number of classmates he knows, counting from kindergarten, does not exceed three hundred. Compared with the former, it is really a drop in the ocean. Yes, unless specifically going to certain places where certain people are bound to haunt.
The bus wobbled, stopped and stopped, and drove to the non-commercial center of LC District. The surrounding buildings began to become shorter and less colorful. Lou Cheng got off the bus at the stop sign at the entrance of a community.
This is the place where I have lived for nearly ten years. The exterior walls of many buildings have been mottled, leaving traces of the ruthless years. It is the last glory of the company where my father first worked. When it went bankrupt, it drained the last of my family. With his savings, he borrowed a lot of debt before buying the property rights.
Most of the people living in the community are my father’s former colleagues or co-workers. The relationship between the neighbors in the neighborhood is pretty good. After changing the diaper, I felt the taste of home without stepping into the house.
Of course, this kind of neighborhood atmosphere is also a little bad. The seven aunts and eight aunts like to get together when they have nothing to do, and if something happens to the family, it spreads throughout the community!
When he was about to reach Building No. 8 where his home was located, Lou Cheng saw a young man coming out of the door opening of his unit, so he smiled and said hello: "Brother Xu."
This young man is called Wang Xu, and he is my kindergarten classmate, elementary school classmate and junior high school classmate, that is to say, Fa Xiao in the normal sense. In addition, the fathers of both parties used to work in a technical department, and they liked to gather together to play chess and brag. The relationship is pretty good.
But in the few years when the company was about to go bankrupt, people were in panic, waiting for the rice to be cooked, and everyone had a hard time. In a family, one often had to leave his hometown to work, and the other to run at home and take care of the children. Conflicts broke out from time to time. This kind of atmosphere It also affected the children. Some people began to have no intention of studying and wanted to make money early, while others followed the gangsters who were originally young workers in the factory and now "mixed society".
Wang Xu is tall and has a strong physique. He has been fond of martial arts since he was a child. He was corrupted by this kind of atmosphere and gradually went astray. When he was in junior high school, he courted his physical education teacher in order to learn martial arts, and at the same time he followed the bastard to collect protection fees. Participate in school gang fights.
At that time, he was still relatively innocent, and he would show off to Lou Cheng who he beat up today and who he was planning to have sex with tomorrow. From Lou Cheng's current perspective, he can find that his talent was really good at that time. The strength of amateur ninth grade.
It is precisely because of such a young student that Lou Cheng was able to avoid outside interference and bullying by hooligans in the junior high school where the overall learning atmosphere was extremely poor. He could concentrate on studying and was admitted to Xiushan No. 1 Middle School. I became two people with Wang Xu, and I no longer knew anything about him. I only knew from the occasional meeting that he didn't go to high school, and found that he seemed to be getting better and better, but there was also a superficial scar on his face.
The scar on Wang Xu's left cheek is still faintly visible. He has neat short hair, is wearing a long black leather jacket that is worth a lot of money at first glance, and a thick and long gold chain that looks like a nouveau riche. Without the youthfulness of eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys.
"Hey, the college student is back." He was quite happy to see Lou Cheng, and took out a pack of foreign cigarettes with English letters written on them from his pocket, "Here, smoke one, it's a good product!"
It was in such an atmosphere that he learned to smoke and drink... Lou Cheng had a thought and waved his hand: "I quit smoking now."
A trace of displeasure flashed across Wang Xu's face, his attitude became a little more indifferent, and he lit a cigarette for himself and said, "It's different when you go to college."
To be honest, Lou Cheng used to have a good relationship with him, so he was still a little afraid of him, but now, after the experience of Xiao Wusheng's group arena, when he faced Wang Xu again, he completely lost that fear. Looking at the other party, he said with a gentle smile: "I not only quit smoking, but also quit drinking, but I didn't quit hot pot and so on. Do we have time to have a late night snack?"
Seeing that Lou Cheng's attitude was not deliberately alienated, but calm and generous, the unhappiness in Wang Xu's heart disappeared, and he regained familiarity, he said with a smile: "Okay, let's go get some skewers, oranges, why don't you think about it?" Quit smoking and drinking? Then what's the point of living?"
Lou Cheng replied with a smile: "I joined the Martial Arts Club in college, intending to strengthen my body. As you know, you need to quit smoking and drinking when practicing martial arts."
Hearing this, Wang Xu laughed loudly: "You actually want to practice martial arts? When brother is free, I will teach you a few skills, so that you can make great progress in martial arts during the winter vacation!"
I don't believe it... You can still make me a ninth-rank professional? Maybe you can't even beat me... Lou Cheng complained silently, without further ado, and pointed upstairs: "I'm going home to see my parents first, we'll talk later."
"Okay, I'll bring a bottle of wine to your house later. I haven't played chess with Uncle Lou for a long time." Wang Xu's family and Lou Cheng's family live in the same building and unit, but one is on the second floor and the other is on the fifth floor. , It's normal not to go home for a week.
Lou Cheng let out a hey, "You haven't lost your skills in chess, have you? I've been wasted a long time ago."
Both fathers love to play chess, and each of them can be regarded as a skill passed down from childhood to family.
Wang Xu smiled first, and then sighed: "It's not that you don't know my dad, he has a stubborn temper like a donkey, and he can't bear to see me messing around in society, but once he enters the rivers and lakes, he can't help himself. When playing chess, he can give me a good face and say a few words."
He was quite old-fashioned in speaking.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lou Cheng walked into the gate of the unit, walked up the familiar stairs, and walked to his home on the fifth floor. This community was built ten years ago, when elevator apartments were not popular in Xiushan, so the highest here is only six floors.
Seeing the gray-blue anti-theft door of his house, Lou Cheng smiled and took out the key. It's past five o'clock, and his mother must be at home, preparing dinner.
He didn't tell his mother in advance that he was going home today, in order to surprise them!
Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang! With background music playing in his heart, Lou Cheng twisted the key, opened the door, and shouted loudly:
"Mom, I'm back!"
The sound echoed, the room was silent, Lou Cheng was stunned, put on his slippers, and walked to the kitchen, only to see that there was no one there, and there was no trace of cooking.
I wipe, who? Lou Cheng took out his mobile phone and called his mother.
What about the surprise
The phone was connected, and Lou Cheng's mother's familiar voice came: "Chengzi, when are you going home? All other children are on vacation!"
"Mom, I'm at home right now, how about you guys?" Lou Cheng asked slightly dull.
"You didn't even say a word when you got home!" Lou Chengma's voice rose a little.
Lou Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "Didn't I want to surprise you?"
"I'm surprised by your size! It's not too much of a shock! A relative got married, and your dad and I had a wedding in Ningshui. We won't be coming back tonight. You can take care of it yourself." Lou Chengma cursed with a smile.
Ningshui is a county under Xiushan Mountain.
"I came all the way home, is this the treatment?" Lou Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Lou Cheng's mother laughed and said, "Who told you not to tell me in advance? In that case, I will let your father come by himself. Feel the surprise?"
"I feel it..." Lou Cheng had a black thread on his head.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the deserted surroundings, and could only lament that it was indeed his own, and he had to find food by himself.
Returning to his room where posters of the Dragon King and other warriors were posted, Lou Cheng put down his luggage, took out his cell phone, and sent a message to Yan Zheke: "Miserable! No one welcomes you when you go home, and you don't have anything to eat. They all went to drink weddings." !"
Yan Zheke quickly replied with a photo. It was a round table with a turntable, and it was filled with dishes, layered upon layer, with a dozen or twenty types: "My dinner today will satisfy your cravings, thank you!"
"Look at my eyes..." Lou Cheng made an aggrieved expression, "The left-behind children are tragically abandoned!"
While chatting with Yan Zheke, he began to think about dinner, planning to call friends out for dinner, anyway, we have money!
He left a message to Cai Zongming first, and said with a "smirk": "King Zui, I have a secret for you."
I have taken the top eight secrets of Xiao Wusheng's ring, and now I can crush your secrets!
Then, he found Jiang Fei on Q: "Fat Jiang, are you free? I'm going back to Xiushan, let's go out for dinner together."
If Jiang Pang is not free, he will find them one by one.
"Hey, I'm willing to come back, I thought you were too happy to miss leaving, where to eat?" Jiang Fei didn't hesitate, this is called friendship!
Lou Cheng thought for a while: "Lao Liu, let's have a barbecue."
You can send pictures to Yan Zheke to make her greedy!
